Chapter 821 It's Him!
Time is passing little by little.
Yang Yang tried to make a cross from the left side of the penalty area, and a low ball was sent directly to the goal, but Ibrahimovic failed to grab the point under the interference of the opponent's two central defenders, Chris and Baumsson. .
At the back point, Lyon's left-back Ali Sissoko made a timely and crucial clearance, and played the ball out of the penalty area before Raul, who came on as a substitute, to defuse another Real Madrid attack.
At this time, there is not much time left for Real Madrid.
Less than five minutes left in regular time.
Benitez seems to have no intention of making any further substitutions.
In this game so far, he has only replaced one player, and replaced Robben with Raul, who was physically exhausting.
This is a regular substitution for Real Madrid in the past six months, because the team has no real wingers except Yang Yang and Robben.
After Raul played, he mostly leaned towards the middle. Abeloa on the right and Maxwell on the left also actively moved forward and participated in the front attack, trying to get an away goal in the last few minutes. The ball equalized the score.
Away 1-1 and 0-1, these are two very different results.
Of course, the premise of scoring goals is that the team does not lose the ball again.
A 0-1 away result isn't bad, especially for Real Madrid's situation right now.
For six years, he has not made it to the quarter-finals, and has been stopped in the round of 16 consecutively. Real Madrid is now temporarily behind 0-1 away from home, and he has a great chance to advance when he returns to the Bernabeu, so Benitez does not need to take risks on this point. .
There are pros and cons. Losing away games and returning to the home court must be desperate. This is an advantage for Lyon after all.
...
Lyon also clearly knows what Real Madrid means, and they are not in a hurry, and try to delay time as soon as they have the opportunity.
For the Ligue 1 team, winning 1-0 at home is undefeated in five games against Real Madrid, and it has an advantage on the psychological level. After going to the Bernabeu, the team defended with all their strength and fought counterattacks. This is also on the tactical level. took the initiative.
Claude Pierre knew very well that a 1-0 victory was a pretty good result.
But the Real Madrid players on the pitch obviously don't think so.
At least, Yang Yang doesn't think so.
After Robben came off, Lyon's defense focused on Yang Yang's left.
Real Madrid are also accustomed to sending the ball to Yang Yang on the left, but Yang Yang is alone, not three heads and six arms, and it is difficult for him to find an effective way to face the opponent's impregnable wall.
So, when the ball came to this side, and saw that the Lyon team had deployed heavy troops on the left again, Yang Yang didn't think much, took two steps back, and quickly returned to the midfield to let his teammates reorganize.
Xavi Alonso also understood this. After stopping the ball, he glanced at the right and signaled Abeloa to move forward, but the ball was passed to Ramos, who took it forward and passed it to Xavi. Alonso.
At this time, Abeloa was in place and Xavi Alonso quickly shifted the ball to the right.
Xavi Alonso's pass was accurately sent to the unguarded area in front of Albeloa. Real Madrid's right back sprinted quickly, caught up with the ball and then took advantage of the opportunity to go down the sideline, and the low ball passed to the front point, Going to find Ibrahimovic.
Baumsson's position was very accurate, and he blocked the ball before the Swedish center.
The ball flew to the left side of the penalty area, Sneijder ran to the position first, facing the falling ball, he directly kicked the ball to the penalty area, and picked the ball to the left side of the penalty area again.
In the big penalty area, Yang Yang was in ambush at the back point. After seeing the ball being cleared, he saw Sneijder go to grab the landing spot, and immediately ran to the gap to respond. He believed that Sneijder could see him.
Sure enough, Sneijder had a tacit understanding with him, and directly asked Yang Yang.
This kind of pick pass is not easy to handle in the narrow area of the penalty area. Both Levy and Chris rushed towards him. Yang Yang completely lost the opportunity to hit the goal after stopping the ball. The angle of hitting the goal directly is too small.
So, after Yang Yang chose to stop the ball, he turned around quickly, blocked Levy and Chris with his body, and then passed the ball back to the left to find Maxwell.
The Brazilian left back really stepped in, caught up with Yang Yang's pass on the left side of the penalty area, stopped with his left foot, adjusted and quickly crossed to find Ibrahimovic.
This sudden change made Lyon's defense line in chaos.
Ibrahimovic is in the middle of the small penalty area. Baumsong may not be able to stop him alone. Chris and Levy rushed over immediately, and one went to block Ibrahimovic. , a run to the goal to block the angle of the shot.
Yang Yang immediately turned around and ran to the left post when he saw Maxwell kicking a pass, keeping an eye on Zlatan Ibrahimovic.
He's waiting for an opportunity that might come up!
The Swedish center can choose his own header to attack the goal. He has enough height advantage and grabbed the first spot, but he is obviously not sure, because there are defensive players in the front, back, left and right, so he chose to ferry back to Yang Yang on the left.
This is a kind of trust!
He believes that Yang Yang will run over, because in his impression, Yang Yang belongs to the kind of player who will never give up before the whistle of the game is sounded, so he will definitely run over and wait for the opportunity, even if it seems very slim.
Ibrahimovic gave up his header and instead chose to ferry back to the left side of the goal, much to the surprise of Lyon's defenders, as the entire left side of the goal was empty.
When Yang Yang saw Zlatan Ibrahimovic leap, he already knew the intention of the Swedish center. He suddenly started, accelerated and rushed up, just in time to meet the flying ball.
At this moment, the ball came from the front. Yang Yang clearly saw the positions of goalkeeper Loris and defender Levy. He rushed up quickly, without jumping, and directly put Ibrahimovi on his forehead. Weird ferry.
The ball hit Yang Yang's forehead and changed direction.
Loris' reaction was also very fast, and instinctively opened his hands to fish, but Yang Yang's push was fast and hasty, and the angle was tricky.
The ball hit the Lyon goal.
...
"GOALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL!!!!!!"
"In the eighty-seventh minute, Yang Yang scored with a header!"
"One to one!"
"Real Madrid equalized away!"
"God, a goal at a crucial moment, Yang Yang saved Real Madrid!"
"Yang Yang once again stepped forward at a critical moment!"
...
After Yang Yang headed for the goal, he almost couldn't hold back his momentum and almost fell into the penalty area, but fortunately he quickly stabilized his body, only staggered and did not fall to the ground.
When he saw the ball inside the goal line and the referee's whistle that the goal was valid, he was all excited.
"Ahhhhhh!!!!!!"
Yang Yang clenched his fists and roared hoarsely in front of the opponent's goal in Lyon's penalty area.
Ibrahimovic rushed forward quickly, hugged Yang Yang's neck forcefully, his wet hair was against Yang Yang's face, and he laughed uncontrollably.
Sneijder, Raul, Abeloa, Xavi Alonso and other players also rushed over.
Real Madrid's players didn't go to the sidelines at all, celebrating their goals directly in Lyon's penalty area.
One to one!
...
"This goal is very important!"
"Precious away goals, so to speak, gave Real Madrid the advantage in the two legs."
"At the same time, this is also the first time that Real Madrid have won a draw away from Lyon in the past five years. In the past two matchups, Real Madrid returned with 0-3 and 0-2 defeats respectively. A one-to-one draw is crucial for Real Madrid."
"At this time, Real Madrid should thank their top star Yang Yang. At the critical moment, Yang Yang stepped forward and made a final decision, scoring a golden away goal for Real Madrid."
"This goal will give Real Madrid the advantage in the two legs."
...
There were boos in the stadium, and Lyon fans were unhappy with the goal conceded in the final stage.
On the sidelines, the head coach of the home team, Claude Pierre, shook his head very depressed and walked back, while the coach of the visiting team, Benitez, was dancing with excitement.
One-to-one, this result is a very ideal result for Real Madrid, which has not entered the quarter-finals of the Champions League for six years and has been eager to break the curse for many years.
A one-to-one away game will make Real Madrid more confident and calm.
At home, Real Madrid will welcome Lyon with a more relaxed attitude.
At this moment, Benitez is full of confidence in the promotion!
...
"It's him!" Zidane said forcefully in a very affirmative tone.
No one but Florentino knows what Zidane means.
"Yes, it's him, that's great!" Florentino couldn't help but laugh.
The away game is one-to-one. After returning to the home court, even if Real Madrid defends to zero-to-zero, they can still rely on the away goal to eliminate Lyon and successfully advance to the quarter-finals.
What's more, for Real Madrid, at the Bernabeu Stadium, the team's attack power is enough to crush any team in the world.
Real Madrid may still be afraid if they face Barcelona, who is passing the ball against the sky, but facing Lyon...
Florentino seems to have seen the scene of the team winning at the Bernabeu.
"Look at them." Zidane stretched his finger to the court and found that all Real Madrid players rushed towards Yang Yang. Even Casillas rushed out of the goal and ran all the way to Yang Yang, hugging him to celebrate the goal.
"It's not just a goal, it's a hope!"
Florentino nodded heavily, who said no?
Six years of longing!
In the past six years, Real Madrid has changed two presidents and how many coaches? How many superstars and players have come and gone?
But it has never been able to break this curse!
Many people say that this is the fate of Real Madrid.
But now, Yang Yang's goal completely broke all of this.
For Zidane and Florentino, the excitement and gaffe were only short-lived. They quickly calmed down their emotions and regained their unwavering appearance, leaving no one able to see the joy in their hearts at this moment. If crazy.
"It is still necessary to be stable, after all, there is still a home court." Florentino said pretending to be calm.
Zidane wanted to laugh, but held it back and nodded heavily, "Yeah, don't be careless."
Sorry, I have something to do today, I forgot the timing!
